Overview
Bushranger® Night Hawk VLI Series LED Driving Lights have been developed from
the ground up by our team of engineers to offer a truly unique design which takes
performance, looks and usability to a whole new level.
The bold, modern aesthetic incorporates clever cooling ducts which channel cool
air directly over the heatsink to greatly increase the heat dissipation of the LED’s. The
Advanced Temperature Control System takes advantage of the superior cooling
design to run the LED’s at their maximum potential by monitoring and adjusting the
output according to the environment.
These lights are so bright, we’ve also incorporated a brightness control function, which
allows complete control of the light intensity in conditions where too much light can
be detrimental to clear vision. The brightness is controlled by our pioneering, relay-free
VLI Series Wiring System, which is the rst of its kind, and leads the way with simpler
wiring, easier installation, more user control and greater reliability over traditional
systems.
Each light is supplied with two protective covers which allow the user to change
the beam pattern quickly and easily. With the spot protective cover tted, the light
projects a clean, focused spot beam pattern which reaches extreme distance;
great for highway driving. Clip on the ood protective cover and the light changes
signicantly to a wide, ood beam pattern which illuminates all the surroundings for
excellent short to medium distance vision.
Bushranger® Night Hawk lights are engineered tough to withstand the rugged outdoor
terrain and harsh climate experienced down under. They are backed by a 5 year
warranty and our 40+ year history of supplying quality engineered 4x4 products to the
Australian market.

Important Notes
Light Mounting Bracket
Vehicle Mounting & Adjustment
Installation Instructions
• We recommend the lights/wiring to be tted by a qualied automotive electrician.
• A forward facing light system may be used only as an auxiliary to high beam.
Check compliance and regulations with local authorities.
• Vehicle accessories mounted on the outside of the vehicle may need to comply
with regulations governed by your local state authority. Please check before
installation.
• When mounting lights, positon them appropriately so they do not obstruct existing
automotive function. If tting to front of vehicle, check for Bonnet clearances.
• Consideration should be given for airow requirements of the vehicle and its
mechanical components when mounting lights.
• All stainless steel hardware must have anti-seize lubricant applied to the threads
before tightening to avoid binding or galling of components.
• Ensure all recyclable parts/packaging are discarded in accordance to local
regulations.
The mounting bracket is supplied loosely tted to the light. The stainless steel M6 x 25mm
or M8 x 30mm button head bolts that secure the mounting bracket to the light must be
removed and have anti-seize lubricant applied to the threads before nal installation.
The use of anti-seize greatly reduces the risk of thread galling or binding commonly seen
between stainless steel nuts and bolts during tightening. Anti-seize must also be applied
to the M8, M10 and M12 mounting fasteners used to secure the light to the vehicle.
Ensure the mounting location for tment of the light/s to the vehicle is at, stable,
sufciently strong and has enough clearance around the light to avoid damage to
the vehicle from any movement during installation and use. If drilling is required for
mounting, ensure raw edges are coated with corrosion resistant paint or inhibitor.
The light can be adjusted horizontally and vertically. All adjustments are to be made
before nal tightening of fasteners. Horizontal adjustment is gained by rotating the
light body to the desired position and tightening the centre M10 or M12 bolt. Vertical
adjustment is gained by tilting the light body up or down and tightening the 4 x side
bolts.
The 9” light should always be secured to the vehicle using 1 x M12 centre bolt and 2 x
M8 side bolts as supplied. Apply anti-seize lubricant to these fasteners when tting to the
vehicle. For initial setup and adjustment, the fasteners should be nger tightened. Once
all adjustments have been made, all fasteners should be tightened and torqued to the
following specication:
RECOMMENDED TORQUE SETTINGS
M8 Fasteners 17Nm
M10 Fasteners 33Nm
M12 Fasteners 57Nm
Wiring Options
The driving light can be wired into the vehicle using 2 methods:
1. VLI Wiring System (P/N: NHW20VLI, available separately)
Our unique, relay free VLI Wiring System greatly simplies the installation of these
driving lights into modern vehicles and allows the full functionality of the VLI Series
lights to be achieved. Not only is this system easier to install and more reliable than
traditional relay-based wiring looms, but it also allows the brightness of all lights
connected to be varied, which gives the driver full control of light intensity at the
turn of a dial. Up to 4 x VLI Series Lights can be controlled by the one system with
no limitations on the power draw of each light.
The VLI Wiring System utilises the control plug on the rear of the light to provide the
control signals. The basic principles of operation are:
| Night Hawk VLI LED Driving Lights | Night Hawk VLI LED Driving Lights
Page 17 Page 18
2. Traditional Wiring Looms
Power Plug
Control Plug
All VLI Series lights can also be used in a more traditional, 12V relay-based wiring loom /
harness setup. Care needs to be taken to ensure that the wiring harness is rated for the
high-power requirements of the VLI Series lights.
The basic principles of operation are:
When the control plug on the back of the light is not used and power is supplied to the
power plug on the back of the light, the light will turn on and operate at maximum output.
Ensure that the attached sealing cap is tted to the control plug when not in use.
ISOMETRIC VIEW
N.T.S.
When the control plug on the back of the light is connected to the wiring system,
and the power plug is connected directly to the vehicles battery using the
supplied power lead, the light will only turn on/off & vary in brightness when signals
are received from the in-cabin control module. The in-cabin control module is
connected through the vehicles high beam circuit so that the lights can only be
operated when the high beam is activated.
NOTE: After installation of the wiring system, the lights may briey ash when rst
connected to the power source. This is normal operation and not a malfunction.
Cover Removal / Installation
Each driving light is supplied with two protective covers, a clear spot beam cover and a
uted ood beam cover.
To t a cover, align the 5 x clips on the cover with the openings in the front of the light,
then push cover rmly until the clips ‘click’ into the openings.
To remove cover, pull out on the 2 x lower tabs until the clips release from the light.
Care and Maintenance
Tabs
Clips
• The light is not serviceable – DO NOT disassemble.
• Clean lights using pH neutral soapy water and a soft nonabrasive brush or sponge. Rinse
thoroughly after cleaning.
• DO NOT use solvents, Alkaline based cleaners or abrasive materials to clean the light.
• If lights are exposed to a high salt environment or any other corrosive substance,
remove the light and mounting bracket from the vehicle and thoroughly clean and
rinse the components as outlined above.
• Remove the clear cover and plastic cover on the rear of the light periodically to clean
any dirt and grime build up.
• Regularly check all fasteners to ensure they are secured and properly torqued.
